- Comment on I'm gonna pay you $100 to fuck off 1 day ago:
What’s this “we” bit? I’ve never paid them anything, and I still don’t see ads.
- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 2 days ago:
No. For example, I’ve seen a lot of games use Unreal, and almost all of them ran perfectly fine. It’s almost always the dev or publisher at fault for a shitty game. Usually the publisher, in the case of AAA games.
- Comment on Why is gaming becoming so expensive? The answer is found in AI 3 days ago:
gaming started getting expensive when micro-transactions became a thing. AI is just the latest fad they can blame their price gouging on. because when the AI bubble pops, that PS5 ain’t going back down in price.
- Comment on You need to install an extension to reject cookies in websites that use Google Analytics 4 days ago:
Technically uBlock is still an extension.
yes, and it’s an extension that anyone using the fediverse almost certainly already has installed.
- Comment on You need to install an extension to reject cookies in websites that use Google Analytics 4 days ago:
No you didn’t? Just block it with uBlock, which you need to make the web usable in the first place.

the best way to improve Fallout 4 performance on the Switch 2 is to play it on Steam Deck instead
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I do too! no joke, pork rinds are one of my favorite snacks. my local gas station sells Mac’s, so I drop in for a bag and a brew when I want to treat myself.

Do the people at the kebab shop read English? Just because they can speak it doesn’t mean they’re literate.
- Comment on I've been waiting for this for a long time. 1 week ago:
wait has it always been that much? I feel like I didn’t pay that much back when I bought it years ago.
- Comment on And no paper towels to use on the handle 1 week ago:
I saw a bathroom like this that had the metal thing for you to pull the door open with your foot instead.
The door required the handle to be turned in order for it to open.

What a shame, my kids loved this.

Did you wake up in a bad mood, or is this just the personality everyone who is misfortunate enough to meet you is stuck with?
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t really matter to me, because I was going to pirate it the same as I do any game, AAA or indie.
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 2 weeks ago:
You can’t steal something you copied, because nothing has been taken, and the concept of owning ideas is ridiculous anyway. Not to mention morality is subjective.
Pirate everything, because everything is yours as much as it is the original creators.
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 2 weeks ago:
Pirating the game and using those assets was always fine, no matter the circumstances, company, artist, or developer. Copyright and intellectual property is an illusion the capitalist class uses to exclude the poor from ideas they feel they can profit from.

It’s an optional field in the user record your distro can make use of if they want.

Everybody is shitty and the whole universe sucks and sometimes not even dying can save you.
- Comment on A communist and an anarchist walk into a bar.. 3 weeks ago:
MLs really do be like that, not able to carry through a revolution without depending on anarchists. talks tough in the sheets, but is weak in the streets.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 3 weeks ago:
If you want something privacy focused, then LibreWolf is a Firefox fork widely acclaimed for their work. Otherwise Waterfox is a very popular and high quality fork.
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 3 weeks ago:
They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.
a for-profit company partially funded by the billionaire Peter Thiel, of Palantir fame. the same Palantir spying on Americans in order to allow nazis to round up immigrants and throw them into concentration camps. the same Peter Thiel that said democracy is not compatible with freedom.

I’m looking forward to seeing this utilized in games.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 4 weeks ago:
Licenses only matter if you care about copyright. I’d much rather just appropriate whatever I want, whenever I want, for whatever I want. Copyright is capitalist nonsense and I just don’t respect notions of who “owns” what.

Yeah I don’t really think so, GabeN. Loot boxes should go the way of the dinosaurs.
